Last week, Kim Kardashian celebrated a milestone achievement: she graduated from law school.
The reality star shared a photo on Instagram acknowledging the momentous occasion.
“Six years ago, I embarked on an unconventional path to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer,” she wrote.
“It wasn’t easy, and it took longer than planned, but I never gave up. Each course brought moments of doubt, tears, and triumph - especially when I conquered subjects I initially feared.”
Kim K is not the only celebrity who has combined a career in the limelight with academic study.
